You can use any smooth yarn with a crochet hook that matches your yarn weight. Keep in mind that thicker yarn will create a larger keychain, while thinner yarn will make a smaller and more delicate tulip.
For the sample, YarnArt Jeans was used – a Sport/Fine weight cotton-acrylic blend made of 55% cotton and 45% acrylic. Each skein is 50 g / 160 m / 175 yds.
If you want to use a different yarn, choose a smooth cotton or cotton-blend yarn that gives you neat, tight stitches for amigurumi. The Yarn Substitution Tool is a helpful resource for finding yarns with a similar weight, fiber content, and texture.
You will need two yarn colors:
- one color for the tulip flower
- one color for the stem and leaves
You will also need:
- 2 mm crochet hook
- fiberfill stuffing
- keychain clasp or carabiner
- yarn needle
- scissors
- stitch marker
Gauge and Size Notes
Gauge is not critical for this pattern. The most important thing is to keep your stitches tight enough so the stuffing does not show through. Your finished tulip keychain may be larger or smaller depending on your yarn, hook size, and tension.

Pattern Instructions
Tulip
Make two tulip flowers. Work in continuous rounds using the flower color. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round.
R1: Into the magic ring, 6 single crochets, then pull the yarn tail to close the ring (6)
R2: inc in each st around (12)
R3: [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
R4: sc, inc, [2 sc, inc] x 5, sc (24)
R5-11: sc in each st around (7 rounds, 24)
Fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail of about 20 cm / 8 in for sewing the openings closed.
Leaves
Ch 22. Starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, work:
inc, hdc, 6 dc, hdc, sc, sl st, sc, hdc, 6 dc, hdc, 3 sc in the last ch.
Now work along the other side of the foundation chain:
hdc, 6 dc, hdc, sc, sl st, sc, hdc, 6 dc, hdc, sc.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Stem
Leave a yarn tail of about 20 cm / 8 in before starting the chain. This tail will be used later to sew one tulip flower to the stem.
Ch 40. This chain forms the tulip stem. You can make it longer or shorter by adjusting the number of chains.
After finishing the chain, cut the yarn and leave another tail of about 20 cm / 8 in. Use this tail later to sew the second tulip flower to the stem.
Assembly
Lightly stuff the tulip flower with fiberfill. Sew the opening closed at the marked points, as shown in Photo 1.
The closed tulip shape should look like Photo 2.
Attach the stem chain to the keychain clasp, as shown in Photo 3.
Insert your hook under the front loops in the middle section of the leaves, where you made the slip stitches. Pull the stem chain through the leaves, as shown in Photos 4 and 5.
Thread one yarn tail from the stem onto a yarn needle. Insert the needle through the bottom of one tulip flower and sew the stem securely in place.
Weave the yarn tail through the base of the tulip a few times to make the join secure, then hide the remaining tail inside the flower.
Repeat the same steps with the second yarn tail and the second tulip flower.
